Alexander "Skunder" Boghossian (July 22, 1937 – May 4, 2003) was an Ethiopian-Armenian painter and art teacher. He spent much of his life living and working in the United States.[2] He was one of the first, and by far the most acclaimed, contemporary Black artists from the African continent to gain international attention.[3]
